NHL Hockey '95 on Game Boy is one of those classic sports games that somehow makes tiny pixels feel like a full-blown hockey match. You pick your team—I always went for the Red Wings—and jump right into these fast, chaotic games where the puck feels like it’s got a mind of its own. The controls are simple enough (pass, shoot, check), but timing a perfect slapshot between defenders never gets old.

It’s not the prettiest hockey sim out there, but there’s something weirdly satisfying about the way the players glide around, and the crowd noise actually gets louder when you’re on a breakaway. The season mode’s basic, but back then, just having real team names and stats felt like a miracle. If you’ve got a Game Boy and even a passing interest in hockey, this one’s a solid time-killer between bus rides or classes.
